Is it possible to make estimated tax payments to the IRS?

In certain cases the tax will be taken from the wages before you get paid. So, the amount you get as the wage or salary will be the left over money after paying the taxes. One can also pay estimated tax. This facility is provided by the IRS to the people. This is applicable to those incomes which are not subjected to withhold. In order to make estimated tax payment one has to file a new form. This type of tax payment will be having a worksheet to check whether you need to make any tax payments. But there are certain items from which the tax will not be withheld. It includes different income sources like interest, dividends, alimony. Self employed income, capital gains and rental income. For such income one has to pay the estimated tax payment since the taxes are not withheld before getting the payment. Such taxes should be reported correctly in the tax form. Failure to report can result in charges of penalties. Estimated tax payment has got a limit and people getting the salary above this limit should include it in the taxable income. The limit is 1,000$. If the income goes above 1,000$ then one should pay the estimated tax.
